And I bet everyone of them complains that they are doing this country a "service" and think if they were in the private sector, they would all be pulling in a million bucks a year

Speaking of doing the country a service,
how about this?

Is George Soros Forging a Closer Alliance With the Muslim Brotherhood? | Breaking news and opinion on The Blaze

The reports connect George Soros to the Muslim
Brotherhood through his various shadow organizations
including the International Crisis Group and his
new spokesmen, Marwan Muasher and Mohamed ElBaradei.

Soros along with Muasher and ElBaradei have
consistently been featured in media downplaying
the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood — and even
urged the Egyptian government to “normalize”
relations with the militant group earlier in the
year. Never failing to miss an opportunity to
undermine the U.S. and Israel, Soros is working
tirelessly to help the enemy of his enemies.

Consistently referring to Israel as the “stumbling
block” to peace in the Middle East, Soros makes
no bones about his hopes for the Brotherhood. He
even heartily encouraged giving the Muslim
Brotherhood a place at Egypt‘s table when the
country’s streets erupted into flames of dissent
earlier this year.

Yeah it's ridiculous and to maintain it they need your Social Security or Medicare or both will do.

also on the jobs front, did you hear how much every job created by the stimulus program cost the US taxpayer?

Obama?s Economists: ?Stimulus? Has Cost $278,000 per Job | The Weekly Standard

The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion. That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.

In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead.

^^^ that.

My sister and her husband are both pretty darned well off, and live in a pretty average sized house in a regular old suburb near Dulles.

DC is an expensive town.

To me what would be the point? The traffic is terrible. Not exactly a clean town. Way too much stress and to be extremely expensive to boot would just not be worth it to me in the end...

And for the subject at hand, the White House is the executive branch, the folks closest to the CEO of the country, so that fact doesn't surprise me, nor disappoint me. Maybe it should but I'm far more worried about the number of employees and their salaries across the board in areas much removed from DC.

I had a very good friend who was in the military and had health issues and we had to drive him to Walter Reed, and it was awful trying to get into town. I thought Chicago was bad...

DC is booming because gov't is growing????

You'd have to imagine that, as it pertains to DC, any growth by the gov't is going to be followed by a multiple of private expansion.

Also, businesses like to operate near Dulles because Virginia is more on the business-friendly side, and the airport is a major hub.

Pretty much. It's also all the companies that have government contracts. Plus the area is pretty well educated so that draws tech jobs

Yeah, companies working for the gov't were significant, but nowhere near the whole crowd there. Still lots of occupied buildings from Dulles past the beltway. And you're right, Virginia does have a host of solid universities.

DC is cheap compared to New York, LA, san francisco, and a lot of other towns.

Reston, Va is one of the most expensive places to live in the country.

perhaps, but there are plenty of outlying areas that are very resonable. and good public transit.
